Whatever you believe in, I'm sure we can all agree that there's a lot of crazy stuff happening present day. Everything seems to be controversial causing a wedge to be built between the people. Presidential debates, police brutality, and drama with North Korea are only some of the issues that we're dealing with today.

It breaks my heart to see that we as a people are no longer turning to police for protection

Our children forced victim to neglection

Just look at our last election

What has happened to us?

Is this why Rosa Parks wouldn't give up her seat on the bus?

So we could sit here and holler and fuss

At each other

with no concern for one another

They say slavery has ended

But that's not true

Murder and violence

Is that appealing to you?

You think one person can't change the world but

What if one too many take a stand?

Causing the world to change, just maybe we can
